Ollie:> John, have you ever heard of the English comiedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer? I grew up watching them, they're hilarious. Vic's a great cartoonist too.

I've noticed that a lot of people commenting on this blog like to ask what John thinks of some piece of pop culture, usually in the hope that it'll be one of the few exceptions to his view of modern animation. (I've been guilty of the same thing - personally I'm still wondering what he thinks of Yellow Submarine, Krazy Kat and Leo Baxendale...)

But asking about Vic and Bob? Yes, they're great (I was rewatching some of Bang Bang It's R&M only yesterday) - but seeing their names brought up here of all places was a request that came out of nowhere!
